PetSmart announces RELEX Solutions partnership

North American retailer PetSmart has implemented RELEX Solutions technology to plan demand for its more than 1,650 stores, distribution centres and e-commerce site.

“We are excited to partner with RELEX Solutions to help us better streamline our demand planning and replenishment processes,” says Jim Persinger, Senior Vice President of Merchandise Planning and Allocation at PetSmart. “We’re confident their solution is the right tool to help us reach our goals around forecast accuracy, availability and better serve the needs of our pet parents.”

RELEX VP Richard Daw comments: “We’re well-positioned to assist PetSmart with some of the more complex challenges in the pet retail industry including accounting for ‘short life cycle purchases’ in planning and allocation. We’re looking forward to sharing the best practices we’ve developed and building a strong relationship with PetSmart as we help them further strengthen their position in the marketplace.”
